through the fields of flame i ran with you

every blow you took i took with you

i lied for you when you moved underground

and covered you as the storm of rage came down



but i will not wear you like a purple heart



to the raging moon burning in the sun

i held on to you you held on to no one

i followed you 'til you were out of sight

and felt the pain as the bullets took the night



but i will not wear you like a purple heart
